Thomas sat down at a table and over looked every book as he cross examined the most recent sacrifice, his eyelids began to drop, he looked over at the purple pony “Yo, Twilight, can you get me a coffee?” he asked,
She nodded a little too quickly “Sure” she said as she ran out as quick as she could,
He looked over to the Pegasus not enjoying herself “Shy, can you go out and get a record of all mental asylums within a five hundred kilometre radius? This is quite important” she hadn’t opened her eyes for at least an hour, she nodded and bolted for the door. He looked towards Pinkie and Rarity, they seemed quite depressed by all this, he walked over to them “You two just get out, go down the street or something, I don’t care what it is, just stop being upset. I’ll get whoever did this” he said reassuring them, as soon as they left he walked up to Dash “I want you to ask around, find out if anyone know anything about this” he told her,
She cocked an eyebrow “What’s in it for me?”
He looked her in the eyes “I’ll help you track down your dad and put an end to his life” Dash needed nothing further and she was out the door.
A few minutes passed, Twilight wasn’t back and Thomas look at Applejack “What do ya want me ta do?” she asked him, he moved away from the table and over to her, he kneeled down in front of her, as his hand stretched out towards her face, in an instant he had locked lips with her,
She broke away and nearly vomited “That’s sickening”
He whispered in her ear “Ignore your morality, just this once” he wiped the puke away from her mouth and she was all over him, he ripped his shirt off as they kissed.
About an hour passed, Thomas put his shirt back on as Applejack cleaned herself up, as soon as she came out of the bathroom Twilight came through the door “I’m so, so, so sorry about the wait, there was this crazy big line and-”
Thomas cut her off “It’s okay, stop stressing” he grabbed the cup and took a sip,
Twilight eyed the way Applejack walked funnily “Are you okay Applejack?” she asked,
as Applejack waddled back over “Ah’m okay” she told Twilight,
then Rarity and Pinkie came in, they looked around “Something is different, really different” said Pinkie,
Rarity gasped “What did you do to her you brute?” she exclaimed as she attempted beating Thomas,
Fluttershy came inside with a scroll inside her mouth, she put it on the table “I thought it might save you time if I got the names of only crazy ponies...but that’s fine if you don’t want that” she told him as she kicked the ground, he walked over and ruffled her hair.
Another hour had passed “Rainbow ain’t back yet, ah’ll go look for her” said the orange southerner,
Thomas shook his head “Stay, I’ll go looking for her” he pushed the door open, he saw a note written in blood ‘Will you decrypt my riddle before your friend dies’ Thomas was broken “He’s got me, I can’t do anything, he’s too good for me” he sighed in defeat,
a deep voice laughed then spoke “Master, it seems you’ll need me, but I demand to be in full control” Thomas nodded, the deep velvety voice laughed again, Thomas began changing, his ruffled brown hair became long black hair, his blue eyes turned dirt brown, his teal t-shirt was replaced by a white trench coat and finally his jeans were turned to leather leg armour.
Vlad was in control and he loved it, “So they took Rainbow? They won’t make it very far once I find them” he drew his rapier, he kicked a pony on its back and held it there by holding his foot against its throat “What do you know about demons? What do you know about their rituals?” he questioned the light brown pony, pointing the tip of his blade towards its face
“Freak! Die!” he replied,
Vlad’s expression had completely changed “You’ll wish you never said that” he barked as he held the pony by one leg, a pike had come out of the ground and impaled the pony from ass through to mouth.
Behind him there was nearly a small forest of impaled dead bodies “Stop! Please!” cried Pinkie,
Vlad turned around and looked Pinkie dead in the eye “Is Rainbow Dash a friend? Wouldn’t you do anything to save her?”
Rarity replied “There is never need for such barbaric displays”
he turned his attention to her “She’s an element of harmony, you all are, and I know for a fact that you are all needed alive for it work. My Master won’t waste his time on a lost cause, and if he does it’ll be without my power”
he barked “Well maybe that’ll be a good thing” Twilight replied,
Vlad ripped his sword out and cut a line in the dirt with them on one side and him on the other “Unless you want to see Dash alive again, STAY ON THAT SIDE!” he screamed, sick of arguing.
Fluttershy was the first to walk over line, she shut her eyes as Rarity tried talking her out of it “Darling, this path will only lead you to destruction”
Fluttershy squealed “You all mean enough to me to be willing to do what it takes, and you’ll have to accept that! Besides, Thomas and destruction have been the best thing to happen to us since this all started” she began to cry,
Vlad snickered “Any other takers?”
Applejack took a deep breath then stook her hoof over the line, “Ah cain’t sit around while ah got a friend gonna die unless ah help”
the others showed no signs of budging, Vlad sheathed his sword “I hope you said your goodbyes before you went shopping and went to get coffee” with that he turned around and walked away continuing his method of interrogation, just as Twilight, Pinkie and Rarity thought he would kill the pony, he pulled them up and ran off in a direction the pony pointed to.
